Grand Teton Climbing Routes as Historic Properties

Author(s): Patrick O. Mullen

Year: 2010

Summary

The history of mountaineering, rock climbing, and ski mountaineering in the Teton mountain range of northwestern Wyoming has been essential to the development of those sports in North America as well as the cultural and economic development of northwestern Wyoming. As such, the routes essential to the development of Teton climbing can and should be recorded as linear historic sites eligible for the National Register of Historic Places similar to the historic Tower Ladder (48CK1641) (McKoy 2000) used to climb Devil’s Tower and the historic pioneer trails which cross Wyoming.
